Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## LandWatch Price-per-Acre & Zoning Scraper Pull raw-land listings from LandWatch (the Land.com network) into a clean dataset — property title, county & state, total acreage, **price per acre**, zoning / property type, and the listing broker's name, company, and phone. Built for agricultural investors, solar-farm developers, and land arbitragers hunting mispriced acreage and zoning-conversion opportunities. ### Why use this actor - **No account, no login, no API key** required. - **Price-per-acre on every listing** — pulled straight from the source (and computed from price ÷ acreage as a fallback), so you can rank deals by `$/acre` instantly. - **Zoning / property type** for each parcel — Farms & Ranches (agricultural), Timberland, Commercial, Homesite/Residential, Recreational, Hunting, Waterfront, and more. - **Listing broker contact** — name, company, phone, and profile link for direct outreach. - **Filter by state and zoning** — e.g. all timberland in Montana, or commercial land in Texas. - **Polite by design** — randomized human-paced delays between requests; US-based residential addresses only. - **Stable JSON output** suitable for pipelines, spreadsheets, or a database — download as JSON, CSV, or Excel. ### How it works 1. You pick what to collect — e.g. `{ "states": ["Texas"], "zoningTypes": ["agricultural"] }`. Leave both empty for all US land. 2. The actor reads each search page's structured listing data — title, location, acreage, price-per-acre, zoning, and broker — and walks through the result pages one at a time, pausing politely between requests. 3. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel. You don't manage any of the fetching, paging, retrying, or pacing — just set your search and press **Run**. ### Input All fields are pre-filled in Apify Console, so you can press **Run** immediately. ```json { "states": ["Texas"], "zoningTypes": ["agricultural"], "maxItems": 100, "maxPages": 50, "maxRetries": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `states` | array | US states to scrape (e.g. `["Texas","Montana"]`). Empty = all US land. | | `zoningTypes` | array | Zoning / property types: `agricultural` (farms & ranches), `commercial`, `residential` (homesites), `timberland`, `undeveloped`, `recreational`, `hunting`, `waterfront`, `lakefront`, `riverfront`, `horse`. Empty = all types. | | `searchUrls` | array | Advanced: raw LandWatch search paths to start from (e.g. `/montana-land-for-sale/timberland-property`). Overrides `states`+`zoningTypes`. | | `maxItems` | integer | Soft cap on rows emitted. `0` = unlimited. Default `100`. | | `maxPages` | integer | Safety ceiling on result pages (25 listings each) per search. Default `50`. | | `maxRetries` | integer | Retries per request before giving up. Default `5`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | **Required.** US residential addresses are needed for this source; the actor defaults to and enforces US. | ### Output Real sample (one record, verbatim; `raw` omitted for brevity): ```json { "source": "landwatch", "sourceId": "423622090", "url": "https://www.landwatch.com/zavala-county-texas-farms-and-ranches-for-sale/pid/423622090", "title": "The North Ranch", "location": { "city": "La Pryor", "county": "Zavala County", "state": "Texas", "stateAbbreviation": "TX", "zip": "78872", "lat": 29.036884, "lng": -99.797512 }, "acres": 10692, "acresDisplay": "10,692 acres", "price": 63618090, "priceDisplay": "$63,618,090", "currency": "USD", "pricePerAcre": 5950.06, "zoningTypes": ["Farms and Ranches", "Recreational Property", "Hunting Property", "Riverfront Property", "Waterfront Property"], "propertyTypesLabel": "Farms and Ranches, Recreational Property, Hunting Property, Riverfront Property, Waterfront Property", "broker": { "name": "Howard W.
